for comparison D5500.

Canon EOS Rebel T5i in North America) and Nikon D5500 can digololongkan as
middle-class DSLR camera, because it has a specification that is what you get

If you compare aspects of the exchange lens you can fit
the needs of photography, then Canon EOS 700D has an advantage over Nikon D5500.

Another important factor is the availability of image
stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so
you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature.

Presently there are
75 lenses for Nikon F mount and 83 lenses for Canon EF/EF-S mount with IS. But
you do not need to worry, even if you choose the Nikon D5500 as your companion,
anyway you can buy lenses are manufactured by a third party such as Tamron,
Sigma, Samyang, or Tokina. In certain categories, the third party lenses can be
found at more affordable prices, and some even have the an image stabilizer
that is not owned by the original lens.

According to the techradar.com: It's unusual to see a
camera so clearly ahead of its rivals, but the combination of the D5500's
24-megapixel sensor and low-pass filter removal produces JPEG images with very
high levels of detail for an APS-C sensor. There are 10 special effect modes
accessible through the touchscreen controls and 16 scene modes. Meanwhile,
Canon EOS 700D: In the Creative Zone, the photographer gets to set a lot of
shooting variables, including white balance, sensitivity, AF mode, exposure
compensation, drive mode and so on. Canon's Picture Controls are preset
combinations of different sharpness, contrast, saturation and colour tone
settings. Canon 700D also has Picture Styles features such as Creative Auto
offers nine options including Standard, Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool,
Brighter, Darker and Monochrome, all of which can be interactively tweaked to
suit your taste.

The Nikon D5500 offers built-in WiFi so you get no
physical while transferring your images
to other devices. Nikon D5500 enables you to share images and videos due to its
wi-fi connectivity where wi-fi is absent in Canon 700D. Nikon D5500 has
magnificent Full HD 1920 x 1080p movie recording is supported in 60, 30, 25,
and 24 fps frame rates where as Canon700D limited to 30 fps is useful to
broadcasts video.

What do you think about the two cameras? Sometimes it is
rather difficult to make choices, but you will certainly find the best solution
for your photography needs. In addition to price, perhaps you need to consider
other aspects, such as on the availability of good lenses and lens original
lens manufactured by a third party. If you are a beginner to the professional
photography, then it is certainly not a problem.

You do not need to be affected by the
"religion" of professional and amateur photographers are split into
two, adherents of Canon and Nikon enthusiast. If you have an open mind, then
you can compare the Nikon D5500 and Canon EOS 700D with competitors outside of
this religion, for example, the Sony A77 or GH4 Panasonic and Samsung NX300.
You also need to try MFT camera or Micro Four Thirds is often also referred to
as a mirrorless camera, where you can also replace lenses according to the
needs of your photography. Anyway, Panasonic, Olympus, or Pentax has developed
a digital camera they are more advanced, so you can rely on them, do not always
have to Canon or Nikon.
